nugget Posted December 31, 2016 Author Posted December 31, 2016 [quote name='grahamd' timestamp='1483192204' post='3205328'] Wow! Any sound clips? [/quote] Thanks - I'll try and record something asap
nugget Posted December 31, 2016 Author Posted December 31, 2016 https://soundcloud.com/user-654123716/noodlewav A little noodle recorded directly into a little zoom thing that sucks some of the life / tone. A bit of a double bass walk so let me know if you want different styles etc
Shaggy Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Not normally my type of thing at all, but that looks absolutely stunning and sounds lush - another fabulous bass, nugget!

nugget Posted January 1, 2017 Author Posted January 1, 2017 This recording is slightly better quality https://soundcloud.com/user-654123716/noodle2
therealting Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 This is beautiful. Do you know how much it weighs?
therealting Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Also, I'm guessing the bass itself is completely passive? Are the recordings through the pre?

[/quote] Its super light 7lb or 3.2kg Yes its completely passive, shadow USA Piezo direct to Neutrix barrel jack. 1st recording was headway (eq flat) into crap zoom, the zoom colours the tone so much! 2nd recording was DI into a friends audio interface this morning without headway. I've played directly into my EA amp and the piezo had plenty of output that it didnt need a pre, it just warms the sound up really
